More quotes by Allyson Felix
I definitely think I put more pressure on myself. I can be hard on myself and super-critical and very rarely satisfied or happy. I am my biggest critic.
Allyson Felix
My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.
Allyson Felix
I've got to make sure I'm keeping weight on.

What's really heavy on my heart is fighting physical inactivity.

It was all kind of a whirlwind at the beginning. I didn't really realize that I had a special gift from God. It was probably towards the end of high school in my senior year when things really started to come together and I realized that I had more potential and that I could do this as a career and that the Olympics were a possibility.

The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.

Allyson Felix
I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me. That's what I do and it's what I love, but I think by having other things I'm passionate about and interested in, it helped me to come back. It helped me to have renewed love for the sport by being able to step away and then come back.
Allyson Felix
I think that kids aren't even exploring the option of sports anymore, and they don't even know what they could do.
